By Corey Masisak | NHL.com
GLENDALE – It has been nearly two decades, but the Los Angeles Kings are back in the Stanley Cup Final.
Dustin Penner scored at 17:42 of overtime Tuesday to give the Kings a 4-3 victory against the Coyotes, completing a five-game triumph in the Western Conference Finals and putting them into the Final for the first time since 1993.
"It is pretty exciting," Kings captain Dustin Brown said. "There are a few guys in here that have been there and had the opportunity, but a lot of guys haven't. It's what you play for."
The series-winning goal came on the Kings' 51st shot at Coyotes goalie Mike Smith. Jonathan Quick made 38 saves as the Kings won for the 12th time in 14 postseason games this spring. They also set a playoff record by winning their 10th consecutive road game in the postseason, and another by going 8-0 on the road so far this spring.
Los Angeles became only the second team to knock off the top three seeds in the conference since the League switched to this playoff format. The other was Calgary in 2004. Kings Head Coach Darryl Sutter was behind the bench for that Flames team as well.
"I'm proud of the players. That's the biggest thing for me," Sutter said. "Hell of an accomplishment for the players. That's what it's about. They're the guys that sweat and bleed. That's what it's about. I know from being a player. I'm proud of them guys."
Phoenix reached the conference finals for the first time in franchise history in a season when few expected the Coyotes to return to the postseason after two straight first-round exits and the loss of free-agent goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. The Coyotes not only returned to the playoffs but captured a division title for the first time in franchise history.
"Ultimately I think our players should look back and feel good about a lot of the things that they accomplished this year," Coyotes Head Coach Dave Tippett said. "We have a lot of young players that this experience has been unbelievable for. Players like (Mikkel) Boedker, (Oliver) Ekman-Larsson, that this will help them grow, continue to strengthen our organization. I think we all recognize what Mike Smith has done for this organization this year, giving us real stability at that position. The frustration will go away and the building of a new team for next year will start very soon.
"You know, I just think these guys here should be really -- I think the amount that this team gave to get us to this spot I don't think should be taken lightly or forgotten easily. This is an incredible group. How hard they worked to get here should be well-recognized."
The Coyotes had two great chances to win this contest -- a five-on-three in the third period and a power play in overtime -- but the Kings' penalty killers were up to the task.

Seconds before Penner's goal, Brown nailed Michal Rozsival with an open-ice hit near the Los Angeles blue line an instant after an offside call; the hit knocked the veteran Phoenix defenseman from the game and incensed the Coyotes players when no penalty was called.

There hadn't been a period with more than two goals during the first 13 of this series, but there was an outbreak of offense in the middle period Tuesday. Los Angeles controlled the play for long stretches and attempted a whopping 36 shots in the period, putting 20 on net. But Phoenix was opportunistic, and both teams ended up with a pair of goals.
Marc-Antoine Pouliot scored his first career playoff goal at 6:23 of the second to put Phoenix ahead 2-1. Pouliot didn't score in 13 regular-season contests for the Coyotes this season, and hadn't scored an NHL goal since April 2, 2010, when he played for Edmonton.
Doughty tied it at 11:06. He received a pass from Colin Fraser at the right point and drifted towards the top of the offensive zone before firing a wrist shot through traffic that found the back of the net. It was his second goal of the postseason, and his 10 points are one shy of New York's Dan Girardi for the League lead among defensemen.
Mike Richards gave Los Angeles its first lead of the night a little more than two minutes later. Richards scored on the rebound of Penner's backhand attempt at 13:43 for his fourth goal of the playoffs.
Just when it appeared the Kings might take complete control, the Coyotes struck again to knot the score at three. Defenseman Keith Yandle scored his first goal of the postseason at 16:23 by skating to the right post and redirecting a centering feed from Taylor Pyatt along the left wall with his shin.

The Coyotes dominated the opening 10 minutes of the game and grabbed a 1-0 lead that could have been more. Martin Hanzal one-timed a feed from the slot with Pyatt in front providing a screen. Hanzal's power-play shot went off Pyatt and past Quick at 4:20 for his fourth goal of the postseason.
The Coyotes had seven of the first eight shots, and had another power play when the Kings were pinched for too many men at 10:28. But instead of maintaining the momentum, Phoenix gave up a shorthanded goal.
Smith's puckhandling has been a weapon all season for the Coyotes, but he iced the puck with his team on the power play and paid the price. Anze Kopitar won the offensive-zone faceoff, and after a Brown attempt was blocked, Kopitar tipped a point shot from Doughty past Smith at 11:13.
Kopitar now has six goals in the postseason, and Brown extended his team-leading point total to 16 -- one behind Philadelphia's Claude Giroux for tops in the League. The shorthanded goal was the Kings' fifth of the playoffs; the other 15 teams have combined for a total of six.
The Coyotes had a great chance to grab the lead early in the third period. Jarrett Stoll and Matt Greene were sent to the penalty box 19 seconds apart, giving Phoenix a lengthy 5-on-3 advantage. Quick made four saves before Hanzal knocked Kopitar to the ice when he was trying to cover the left point, was called for interference and the Kings killed off the ensuing 4-on-3 to escape with the score still tied.

There's no need for more debate. Instead, let's focus on reducing carbon dioxide.
For more than a century, scientists have understood the basic physics of the greenhouse effect. For decades, they've realized humans can affect the climate by burning coal, oil and gas. But the country's leaders remain divided on the need to curb greenhouse emissions, let alone how to do it.
Among mainstream scientists, this paralysis is mind-boggling. There is now no doubt that the world is warming. In 2010, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration deemed this conclusion "unequivocal," pointing to multiple, independent lines of evidence, including decades of direct temperature readings. In 2011, Richard Muller, a University of California, Berkeley scientist and former climate-change skeptic, verified this conclusion after a two-year review of the data. The complaint that scientists did not predict a slowdown in warming lately does not contradict this finding: Climate change is a long-term phenomenon; the line will go up and down here and there, but the general direction will be up. As the most authoritative source on climate science, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, explained in its Fifth Assessment Report last year, "Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding decade since 1850."
Further, the panel found, "It is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century." Among many pieces of evidence is the breakneck rate of carbon dioxide accumulation in the atmosphere, coinciding with measured temperature rise. Other human "fingerprints" are becoming visible: Scientists, for example, are seeing a pattern of warming in the troposphere and cooling in the stratosphere that suggests greenhouse gases — not, say, variations in solar activity — are the cause.
The most reasonable climate skeptics accept these findings but point to two areas of continuing uncertainty. First, scientists are unsure precisely how much the Earth will heat up in response to a given increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations — the climate's sensitivity to carbon. The experts have offered a range of possibilities. Second, it is hard to predict exactly what a given increase in global temperature will do to human society.
Neither is a good excuse for inaction. Recent papers argue for adjusting the sensitivity range up and down, but the overall picture is stable: Scientists have reason to warn against betting human welfare on the proposition that low-end estimates will pan out. Even if the experts are too pessimistic, recent research indicates, that would not eliminate the need to slash carbon dioxide emissions over the next several decades.
Scientists can also reasonably anticipate myriad negative effects in certain emissions scenarios. Waiting to deal with carbon emissions until the effects are clearer or technology improves is not a wise strategy. The emissions humans put into the atmosphere now will affect the climate in the middle of the century and onward.

Project Details
The Breast Cancer Startup Challenge hopes to speed breast cancer-related inventions to market. The first-of-its-kind challenge was conceived in the spring of 2013 with the primary goals of accelerating the process of bringing emerging breast cancer technologies to market and stimulating the creation of start-up businesses around the inventions. New startups will launch in the summer of 2014.
The Breast Cancer Startup Challenge was created out of a unique public/private partnership between NCI, the non-profit Center for Advancing Innovation, and the Avon Foundation for Women. It centers around ten inventions selected for their potential to improve the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer and their commercial viability. The Challenge is an innovative model to move NIH discoveries to market where they can benefit public health. The ten new startups will launch in the summer of 2014.
Multi-disciplinary teams of university students, seasoned entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, and business executives, competed in the Challenge's rigorous Business Plan competition. The ten finalists are currently incorporating their businesses, negotiating a license and securing funding. This challenge also created new synergistic partnerships and is translatable across many sectors of the federal government.
Additional Information
HHS Innovates is one of the ways we are building an innovative culture at the Department of Health and Human Services.

Internal Revenue Service:
Individual Taxpayer Indentification Numbers Can Be Improperly Obtained and Used
GAO-04-529T: Published: Mar 10, 2004. Publicly Released: Mar 10, 2004.
Additional Materials:

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to those who are not eligible for a social security number (SSN) from the Social Security Administration (SSA). ITIN-related concerns include whether any weaknesses in IRS's controls would allow ITINs to be issued and used for illegal purposes and possible security breaches, whether employers are confused about their responsibilities to IRS, SSA, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for identifying their employees, and how IRS, SSA, and DHS share data when illegal resident aliens receive ITINs. Because of these concerns, GAO was asked to: (1) describe why IRS created the ITIN, (2) describe IRS's processes and controls for issuing ITINs, (3) do a limited test of IRS's processes and controls, and (4) describe certain concerns and problems for employers and government agencies when ITINs are issued to illegal resident aliens.
IRS created the ITIN in 1996 to improve tax administration. IRS needed a better way to identify the tax reporting of those who could not obtain an SSN to use on tax returns and other tax documents. The cumulative number of ITINs issued exceeded 7 million by the end of 2003. IRS receives ITIN applications from the mail, applicants walking into IRS offices, and authorized non-IRS entities. In December 2003, IRS made changes to improve its ITIN controls. However, IRS remains limited in its ability to verify applicants' identities. For instance, IRS staff does not see most applicants and IRS does not verify the validity of documents. Before December 2003, GAO staff obtained an ITIN by submitting bogus documents through the mail and used the ITIN to open a bank account and obtain an ATM card. Staff also fabricated an ITIN and used it to obtain a voter registration card. While limited, this test indicates that IRS's controls could be bypassed and that an ITIN could be used for nontax purposes. Despite the December changes, the weaknesses GAO exploited remain. Resolving these limitations could be challenging. IRS has concluded that most resident aliens who have ITINs and earn wage income are not legally employed in the United States. Given this context, the use of ITINs raises various issues. Employers have raised concerns that when they identify employees and their work eligibility, they could have conflicting obligations to IRS, SSA, and DHS. These concerns appear to be largely unfounded if employers do what is specifically required. Data sharing--especially of IRS data--may help DHS to target immigration enforcement, but, among other things, officials cited legal restrictions and the potential for employment to be hidden from tax administrators as affecting their decisions about sharing data.

We discuss the proof of and systematic application of Case's sum rules for Jacobi matrices. Of special interest is a linear combination of two of his sum rules which has strictly positive terms. Among our results are a complete classification of the spectral measures of all Jacobi matrices J for which J - J(0) is Hilbert-Schmidt, and a proof of Nevai's conjecture that the Szego condition holds if J - J(0) is trace class.

Fire Destroys Downtown Buildings in Arkansas
FORT SMITH, Ark. --
Fort Smith dispatchers said fire crews were called out to a large fire at 10th Street and Garrison Avenue just before 5 a.m. Monday.
Police said the fire started at the Boomerang Cafe and quickly spread to the building next door. Dispatchers said the buildings had businesses on the bottom and apartments above. Firefighters said nobody was living in those apartments and that they were converted to office space.
Officials said no one was inside the buildings when the fire broke out.
"These buildings, you know, of course they're real old. They go up quick; you've got the old timber in them," Skip Mathews, a battalion chief for the Fort Smith Fire Department, said.
No one was injured, but police said the buildings are a total loss.
"Little smoke damage, a little roof damage, probably from them shooting water across the roof. We'll know later. I'm not worried about it right now; we'll talk to the insurance company and see what they've got to say," Don Conner, a building owner next door, said.
Conner said the fire is a blow to the redevelopment effort and that it would be hard to save the old structures.
"They won't be able to do anything about it. They're the old lime, mortar construction they don't have portland in the cement that holds the bricks together. It's a soft composition, and it's questionable to whether if they'll be able to save the walls, they possibly could, but it's going to be cost-prohibitive. It's a very expensive process to fix that," Conner said.
The fire is under investigation. Because of the storms that blew through Sunday night and Monday morning, the fire marshal's office said it isn't ruling out lightning as a cause of the fire.
Garrison Avenue from 10th Street and Rogers Avenue to Ninth Street was reopened Monday morning.

The most important warning sign for melanoma is a change in size, shape, or color of a mole or other skin growth, such as a birthmark. One of the things to watch for is diameter.
Diameter is width. If the diameter across a mole or skin growth is larger than 1/4 inch (6 mm), or about the size of a pencil eraser, talk to your doctor. Also, call your doctor if any mole seems to be growing, even if it is still smaller than 1/4 inch (6 mm).

Quantitative analysis of perinatal rodent oligodendrocyte lineage progression and its correlation with human. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 12781996 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
The development of a rodent model in the perinatal rat or mouse that reproduces the principal features of human perinatal white matter injury (periventricular leukomalacia) has been hampered by uncertainty about the developmental window in the rodent that coincides temporally with cerebral white matter development in the premature infant. We recently determined oligodendrocyte (OL) lineage progression in human cerebral white matter and found that the late OL progenitor (preOL) predominates throughout the high-risk period for periventricular leukomalacia [J. Neurosci. 21(2001), 1302-1312]. Here, we determined in the perinatal rat and mouse when each species displays a distribution of OL stages that is similar to the premature human cerebral white matter. PreOLs are abundant in the rat and mouse at P2. By P7, extensive OL maturation occurs in both species and coincides with the onset of early myelination. PreOLs and immature OLs mature in the P2 white matter along a medial to lateral gradient. This may provide an explanation for regional variation in the susceptibility of perinatal white matter to injury. We propose that the sequence of OL lineage progression is a useful means to estimate developmental windows of white matter maturation in perinatal rodents that coincide with those of developing human cerebral white matter. These studies support that the vulnerable period for white matter injury in the rodent is centered around P2 and should decline thereafter, coincident with the onset of myelination. |

Teshub | |
Teshub being worshipped by king Warpalawas of Tyana
Other names | Tarhun, Tarhunt, Tešup |
Spouse(s) | Hebat Arinniti |
Children | Sarruma and Inara |
Parent(s) | Enlil |
Relatives | Anu (grandfather) Anshar (great-grandfather) Tigris (brother) Tashmishu (brother) Ullikummi (brother) |
Teshub (also written Teshup or Tešup; cuneiform dIM) was the Hurrian god of sky and storm. He was derived from the Hattian Taru. His Hittite and Luwian name was Tarhun (with variant stem forms Tarhunt, Tarhuwant, Tarhunta), although this name is from the Hittite root *tarh- "to defeat, conquer".[1][2]
Depiction and myths[edit]
Teshub is depicted holding a triple thunderbolt and a weapon, usually an axe (often double-headed) or mace. The sacred bull common throughout Anatolia was his signature animal, represented by his horned crown or by his steeds Seri and Hurri, who drew his chariot or carried him on their backs.
The Hurrian myth of Teshub's origin—he was conceived when the god Kumarbi bit off and swallowed his father Anu's genitals, similarly to the Greek story of Uranus, Cronus, and Zeus, which is recounted in Hesiod's Theogony. Teshub's brothers are Aranzah (personification of the river Tigris), Ullikummi (stone giant) and Tashmishu.
In the Hurrian schema, Teshub was paired with Hebat the mother goddess; in the Hittite, with the sun goddess Arinniti of Arinna—a cultus of great antiquity which has similarities with the venerated bulls and mothers at Çatalhöyük in the Neolithic era. His son was called Sarruma, the mountain god.
According to Hittite myths, one of Teshub's greatest acts was the slaying of the dragon Illuyanka.
Myths also exist of his conflict with the sea creature (possibly a snake or serpent) Hedammu (CTH 348).

The pigment in the Dubin-Johnson syndrome (DJS) is shown unequivocally not to be a typical melanin or closely related polymer. In electron spin resonance (ESR) studies of DJS pigment from a hepatoma, it is shown that, unlike true melanins, the pigment associated with the DJS syndrome has no free radical ...
Insler M S - - 1986
We observed the pigment dispersion syndrome in two patients after keratoplasty with posterior chamber intraocular lenses. In addition to a heavily pigmented trabecular mesh-work and iris transilluminating defects, an inferior linear pigmented endothelial line was seen in both patients. One patient developed glaucoma, which was well controlled with medication. Pigment ...

I have 3 townhomes. If you don't see dates open please also see 109105 for another 2 bedroom or ask for photos of my one bedroom which has 2 queen beds and sleeper sofa.
Coming from the northeast, I moved first to California, then Texas and finally for the last 25 years have chosen Orlando as home. This is my favorite part of the US for year round 'green', ease of travel to and from beaches east & west and wonderful activities! There is always something new to do. Every entertainer ends up performing here so they can combine vacation and work. Major corporations are here for conventions and team building. Families visit to create memories that last forever. Those of us who are fortunate enough to live here appreciate our tourist population as YOU are what Orlando is all about!! :)
Gayle White purchased this villa in 2010
The location can't be beat. First the views - lakefront! You can be at any park within 5 to 10 minutes or at the convention center, movies, go carts, mini golf, outlet shopping, theater, live music, golfing - just seconds to minutes from your front door. 5 water parks for endless fun -Aquatica, Typhoon Lagoon, Blizzard Beach, Wet & Wild and Coco Kay.
There's an on-site restaurant that has a take out Pizza Hut too. Game arcade. Lighted tennis courts. A new super WalMart sells discount tickets right up the street. Safe too and so easy to get to and from the airport or Interstate.
We had so much fun and liked the town house. It was close to the pool and kids under 12 eat free at the restaurant. We spent most of our time at Universal but plan to come back for SeaWorld next time. We also spent one day at a Disney water park. This place is easy to get to and lots of room. After being together in the car and in the parks all day, it was nice to have rooms away from each other and a family room where we played card games. We'll be back!
To start with the manager, Gayle, was wonderful and very accessible. I was traveling as a single dad with my two pre-teen girls. We got into Orlando early and we were able to find the place with ease and get checked in early with no problems (place was already cleaned and ready before 11am...wow!)... Thanks...that helped out immensely. The place was wonderfully furnished and in a great location for our intended purpose. My girls immediately gave it their approval upon arrival....and they are very picky girls. The location provided easy access to just about everything you would need to visit in Orlando. The welcoming book with directions to various destinations was great and spot on. If I found myself in Orlando again for business or pleasure I would definitely inquire into the availability of this "Oasis". About the only "negative" I could think of was the multiple remotes for the televisions. I guess I'm sort of spoiled at home in that I only want to have to use one remote to operated everything..dvd, tv, cable, stereo etc...but it wasn't too complicated after Gayle talked me through it over the phone...lol! Overall great place and I would definitely use it again if I find myself in Orlando.
We enjoyed our stay at the lovely townhouse. Gail the owner was hands on and helpful when needed. Very clean & nicely decorated. Close to everything, Walmart right down the street. Smokehouse Grill right next door, great buffet breakfast. Would stay again & recommend. Thanks L & A
Our stay was wonderful. It was nice to either go sightseeing or stay home and relax. The location is perfect to see all central Florida has to offer. The condo fit our needs and we enjoyed it very much. We could sit out back and enjoy the view or sit on the balcony and people watch. The restaurant next door is good beyond good. It is within walking distance which makes it nice on nights you don't want to cook. Gayle goes above and beyond in seeing that we had everything we needed or wanted. We enjoyed our stay very much. There was one problem. We had to leave too soon.
This rental is an excellent value. I whole-heartedly agree with Johnny's Super Value at a Perfect Location review. Universal, SeaWorld, and Disney are just 10 minutes away. You can see Magic Kingdom fireworks at night. Legoland is just down I-4 and easy to get to. Other than the parks, there is a lot to do that is close. Dr. Phillips Dog Park is on the other side of the lake and only about 10 minutes away. It has a separate area for small dogs and is very well maintained. An excellent restaurant in atmosphere and good food is a 2 minute walk. A Super Walmart, Whole Foods, shopping, restaurants, post office, car wash, and other services are minutes away. It is easy to drive and get to know the area.
The manager is extremely nice and interested in maintaining a clean, comfortable and nicely decorated condo. So nice to have both bedrooms have comfortable queen beds, its own bathroom and large closet. Being on the lake is lovely. The rent is a welcome find in an expensive area.
We are definitely returning next year for a longer stay!
Much better than we expected for the price! This location was great. There is a Smokehouse grill next door, just a short walk across the parking lot. Joe's New York style pizza is next door and delivered pizza to us until almost midnight. Shopping was just at the next traffic light, strip mall and a Super Wall-Mart, where we found DISCOUNT tickets to the parks. We were happy to find a Whole Foods at the very next intersection. Most any type restaurant was near this intersection of Turkey Lake Road and Sand Lake Road. Seasons 52, Ruth Chris, several very good Italian and seafood, plus many more.
This could not be a better location! We were just 10 minutes from Universal and about 15 minutes from Disney. The owner Gayle, was very helpful with showing us the back way to Disney and saved us the traffic jams on I-4 near Disney. Disney during the holidays are a sight to behold and we have some great memories of the Magical time we all had.
We have told friends about this wonderful townhouse and location we have discovered. We liked the way the bedrooms were private from each other and it was clean, good mattresses and the kids liked the lake.
We hope to make it back soon. I was just checking dates available and was reminded that I had not given a review.
Description and photos were as shown in the ad and the owner was very nice and helped with all our requests. Saved us lots of time and expense.
Only wish the traffic was not so heavy near the parks, but it was in the middle of the holidays.
I would and have recommended this townhouse to friends & family. You'll enjoy it!
We stayed at this property for five weeks starting mid April. For most of the time it was myself, my wife, and an 8 month old baby, but the in-laws also came to stay for a few weeks.
The rate was very good and would be tough to beat in that area.
The location is excellent. There is a Whole Foods right down the road, and Sea World is a 15 minute drive away. It is also close to Sand Lake Road, which has Restaurant Row, an area with many top class restaurants. The neighborhood is OK and there are many families in the area. For some reason the unit next door had a broken window that was visible from the parking lot. One of the managers said that they were aware of the issue, but the unit owner had decided not to get it fixed. Broken glass was on the lawn for days. We hear that crime is unheard of in the area, so it was probably some sort of accident combined with lazy owners.
The unit itself is pretty much as pictured. There is a nice lake out back which makes for a nice morning walk.
We had a few technical problems with our unit. There was a rain storm and the guest bedroom sprung a leak within our first week of moving in. The property manager was very responsive and came over that night to take a look and provide extra towels to soak up the mess, but a leak is a leak. The day we moved in the property manager mentioned that the unit had leak issues before we moved in, but they were supposedly fixed, and that we should keep an eye on the ceiling. It's unfortunate that we were moved into a unit with a known potential problem. The temporary solution for the leak was to put a tarp covering the balcony, which remained for the duration of our stay. It wasn't pretty to look at, and we could not use the balcony.
The DVD player was also an unexpected inconvenience. For some reason it would only play in black and white. The property manager came to have a look but was unable to fix it before we checked out.
We discovered a few dead (better than alive) cockroaches during our stay. One was dead behind the couch when we moved in. The cleaner was notified and took care of it, but it is unfortunate that the place was not properly cleaned before we moved in.
To summarize, great location, great price, good size for a family. Some technical issues made our stay less enjoyable than it should have been.
Centered between Disney, Universal, Sea World, Discovery Cove & Universal Studios!! Surrounded by water parks - Aquatica, Wet & Wild, Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach. 45 minutes to the Atlantic Ocean 1.5 hr to Gulf of Mexico! Convention Center and Outlet Shopping super close. Quiet and Safe area!!

Forewind, formed by SSE, RWE npower renewables, Statoil and Statkraft, has been awarded development partner status for the 9 GW offshore wind farm proposed for Dogger Bank, 125 km from the coast of Yorkshire.
Seagreen, formed by SSE and Fluor Corporation, has been awarded development partner status for the proposed 3.4 GW offshore wind farm proposed for the Firth of Forth, 25 km from the coast of Fife.
SSE's capacity share of the two proposed Round 3 offshore wind farm developments totals around 4 GW.
Construction work on the offshore wind farms would take place in 2015 at the earliest.
SSE and RWE npower renewables are already developing the 500 MW Greater Gabbard offshore wind farm in the outer Thames Estuary and in December 2009 SSE entered into an agreement with DONG Energy to acquire a 25.1% stake in the 367 MW Walney offshore wind farm in the Irish Sea, which is expected to become operational next year.
